When muting a [poly~], the output of a [pfft~] inside the muted [poly~] is not cleared. The [fftout~] internal buffer of the [pfft~] still holds stuck samples, and we have to use workarounds to clear this buffer (for instance, delaying the mute message and sending zeros from inside the pfft - works, but not that efficient, not that elegant).

See attached example. For clarity, I use [fftout~] with the nofft mode, but the problem is the same with more usual [fftout~] modes.

poly~ and pfft~ are still among great reasons to use Max rather than other tools.

Feature request: add a "clear" message to [fftout~], similar to the "clear" message already existing for [send~]

Or if you have other ideas, let me know. Thanks!

We already discussed this in 2006 (https://cycling74.com/forums/poly-how-to-clear-audio-vectors-when-muted/).

One more thing: when a [poly~] is inside a muted [poly~], the inner [poly~]'s [out~] gets cleared when the outer [poly~] is muted. I would expect the same behavior with a [pfft~]'s [fftout~].

And in the latest version of Max so far (8.5.2)
